Alice Waters–Edible Schoolyard Takedown in the 'Atlantic Monthly': Wrong, Wrong, Wrong

Before the brain trust that created this bit of drivel put pen to paper, she should have done a little research on the notion that, as she puts it, the Edible Schoolyard "bears the hallmark of contemporary progressivism, a kind of win-win, “let them eat tarte tatin” approach to the world and one’s place in it that is prompting an improbable alliance of school reformers, volunteers, movie stars, politicians’ wives, and agricultural concerns (the California Fertilizer Foundation is a big friend of school gardens) to insert its values into the schools."
It appears, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, that the CEO of the Monsanto-funded Utah Farm Bureau is buying books for the school system, to refute so-called eco-propaganda: http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_14151675
As for inserting ones values into the schools, perhaps she might consider covering the issues of fast food in schools, or school prayer as fodder for her next argument.
